decided to do a little write up for the 1FZ-FE PS pump since i didnt see one in FAQ.
this follows the FSM but i try to add better detail and explanations. this particular pump came from a '96 LX450
first thing is to remove the pump from the car https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/40209-1fz-power-steering-pump-replacement.html
next go to a bench and wipe down if necessary just to get extra crud off.
first thing is to check rotational preload. this tells you if you have a dragging bearing or vanes in the pump spec is 2.4 in-lbs or less. my pump was in spec.
second is to remove the suction port, uses a 12mm socket or wrench.
third is to remove the pulley, use a 12pt 17mm socket and my 3/8 impact.
